But HQPlayer does, which is where this part of the thread started.
But, for some reason, that does not sound good to you on your PSAudio New Wave DAC. Who knows why?
In the $2000 price range the Audio-GD Master 7 does it for me. All those Burr Brown PCM1704U-K's ladder DACing along in parallel just seem to sound right to me.
That does NOT mean that HQPlayer up-sampling those PCM files would not sound good with a new ESS9028 based DAC, especially if up-sampled to DSD 512.
Depending on how much the soon-to-be-announced Singxer SU-1 XMOS XU208 USB Digital interface capable of 512 DSD costs(current model is less that $400), it plus the new GUSTARD without USB (currently $800) might be a reasonably priced alternative.
IF I don't have to buy a new Windows 10 box to use HQPlayer at DSD 512, of course. =:-0
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
